WHAT??? A Jeep Grand Cherokee, even though I don't particularly like them (I drive an Oldsmobile Bravada), are by no means the worse choice he/she could make. Be grateful they aren't driving a Ford Excursion, or a Lincoln Navigator. Now there's a couple of resource hogs.
This may be an interesting debate, but it's a tiresome one. People like their big vehicles, and there isn't much in our lifetime that's going to change their minds. It'll probably take a few more generations to come round full circle. It's interesting over here in the UK where almost ALL the cars are tiny .. And of course the Smart Car is popular as well. But Europe has tiny roads, and gas is extravagant. So people buy small cars and/or commute to work via train/bus. America is VAST and gas is cheap. Families are big, traveling is fun, people like big cars and trucks. Ahh, the freedom of choice. I'm sorry I drive a big SUV, but I love my SUV. :) Erika ------------------------------------------------------------ >>| -----Original Message----- >>| From: Cantrell, Adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>| Sent: 30 April 2002 20:24 >>| To: CF-Community >>| Subject: RE: Jeep Grand Cherokee >>| >>| >>| Maybe you should consider a vehicle that's shocks need not >>| support 4000lbs of steel.
